classroom

  • Most of the school's classes are very relaxed. As long as you have an idea, you can raise your hand to speak, and you don't even have to stand up. Everyone collides with sparks of thinking in brainstorming.

  • Especially in liberal arts subjects, teachers encourage students to put forward different views and justify their own opinions, focusing on the process of discussion rather than the conclusion; The liberal arts exams are mostly based on essay writing, which can be played freely without standard answers.

take an exam

  • Teachers rarely conduct collective review in the way of "marking knowledge points", so self-learning ability will be exercised in independent review and group learning among classmates

  • Different from the college entrance examination "one test for life", NCEA combines several internal school tests during the school year with the unified test at the end of the year to obtain the final score

  • Universities usually don't have much formal class time each week . , but everyone needs a lot of preparation to participate in class discussions, so a high degree of self-discipline is important.
